Casa do Conto (House of Tale) is a unique tourist residence in the heart of Porto, which results from the rehabilitation of a nineteenth century house with a high sense of design, strong architectural criteria and with a welcoming atmosphere that awakens all the senses. It goes far beyond just a place to sleep, focusing on the innovative concept of “arts & residence” which offers a personalized style of residence for the guests who wish to combine their rest to the enjoyment of Porto’s cultural offer. There is therefore a regular schedule of events, in colaboration with several designers, curators and cultural groups and institutions of the city.

The urban rehabilitation behind this project sought to respect the domestic architecture, solemn and upright, a characteristic of the ‘portuense’ nineteenth century, keeping the granitic old facades, with the same hand shape iron door knocker (*), as well as the raw concrete staircase and ceilings, and rejuvenate with the modern lines, the minimalist decor and the different texts embedded in the ceilings of the rooms, marking the project and customizing each space. The Casa do Conto has 6 suites and common areas, provided a living ‘garden room’, a living ‘lounge room’ and a garden, which can be rented for events, allowing also the possibility to rent the whole house.

Hi, I am contacting you from Afar Travel Magazine, and would love to discuss possibly using one of the above images in an article we’re writing on Portugal, which includes the Casa do Conto hotel. Please email me back at Dani@afar.com when you get a chance. Thanks so much!
